ABOUT ME:

I was born and raised in West Chester, PA. I grew up going to the Jersey Shore from a young age. I knew from a very young age that I loved the ocean. New Jersey can be firing; however, it is usually very inconsistent. Even though most days were ankle-high and blown out, I loved being in the water. I would body surf, bodyboard, and skimboard any chance I got. I started messing around with GoPro action cameras in high school. I loved capturing moments in the ocean and still do to this day. It never gets old.

I moved to California in 2016 and quickly realized it was the place for me. I continued to shoot mostly skimboarding with the GoPro for the next 6 years. In 2022, I bought a used Sony Alpha a6000 mirrorless camera and began to upgrade my setup. My current rig includes a Sony A7R III with the reputable Salted Line underwater housing case. I spend most of my days shooting in Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, but always eager to try new spots.
